The escaping inmates were arrested while one submitted himself to the police.
Bature demanded that the perpetrators of the latest incident must not be treated with kid gloves.
‘They must be made to pay dearly for their action as a deterrent to other criminals in our midst,’ he noted.
Bature called for re-strategising, remodelling and modernising of the correctional service system.
The politician further advised youths against allowing themselves to be used to destabilise Plateau.
